Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Forest Hill). They put the hurt on the Atlantic Eagles with a sharp 21-6 win on Thursday. For those keeping track at home, that's the biggest victory the Falcons have posted since April 18, 2024.
Julian DeJesus was a major factor no matter where he played. On the mound, he didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only two hits while striking out seven over four innings pitched. He has been consistent recently: he hasn't given up more than two hits in three consecutive appearances. He was also stellar in the batter's box, getting on base in four of his five plate appearances with five RBI, three runs, and one triple. That triple marked the first that he's hit this season.
In other batting news, Forest Hill got a big performance out of David Olavarria, who scored two runs and stole a base while getting on base in all three of his plate appearances. Willam Brown also deserves some recognition as he brought in his first RBI of the season.
